tested with tf 100

new semi in-ground vinyl pool 15x24, 54"deep, 13,350 gal. started out with pool store advice, until i found this forum which i'm very grateful for. the pool store advice was setting me up for a CYA saturation, thanks to this forum i was able stop before it got real bad. these are the results form the tf 100, pool school recommend CYA 30-50 except in extreme sunlight, what is considered extreme sunlight? how many hours of sun?

Re: tested with tf 100

If you keep on top of your chlorine and never let it drop below the minimum, you will be fine. If you ever run into a problem, you can worry about your CYA then. Test daily, and always add enough chlorine to stay above min, and you will be good.
